Bkm2006 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 billet intake vs rubber upp intake? which would you go with? im not too worried about looks , just want whatever is going to perform the best and has less chance of an air leak. I just bought a set of 35 pwk for my stock stroke fast dune port. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous039 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have the billet one, less chances of it cracking and you can swap the boot sizes when you want to go to bigger or smaller carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've never ran a billet intake. I'm thinking about it. I've heard tho that the two bolt flanges tend to leak and have to be seal real good. Is that a risk worth takikng?? I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew3160 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Billet intakes angle the carbs up a bit more so the plug on the bottom of your stator side carb bowl can be left in while still clearing the clutch actuator. If your stator side carb has a welded plate where the plug on the bottom bowl use to be, then the upp's are just fine and your carb will clear the clutch actuator. I went with the upp's from Jeff for the savings and they seal and work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with the upp's from Jeff for the savings and they seal and work just fine. Then you have to pull the whole float bowl off to change a main jet. Other wise you could have just used a 17mm wrench to take the plug out. I would go with a billit intake. Mikuni replacemt flanges are around $15 bucks from dennis kirk. A little bit of yamabond 4 and they wont leak at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfobasheeboy Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I would go with a billet intake. Some yamabond 4 or a good sealer and they wont leak at all. I have a set of boss billet intake on my shee & I have had no Problem with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
